Introduction |
Start EasyFind using the Finder or the Services menu (EasyFind > Find In Path... or EasyFind > Find Selection...) within Cocoa applications or Carbon applications supporting Services. Enter your search term, select the desired volume or folder, and press the ↩ Return or Enter key or click on the search button (magnifying glass). You may also open additional search windows in the meantime, run multiple processes at once, or stop the currently running search. Once you have started a search, the search button becomes a 'stop' button until the process has finished. EasyFind shows the number of found items in its Dock icon. EasyFind displays all found items immediately so it is possible to drag-and-drop an item, e.g. onto Finder windows, the Dock or other applications, even while the search is going on (vertical motion begins a multiple file selection, horizontal motion starts drag-and-drop). Alternatively, use the following menu commands:
You may also use contextual menus by right-clicking, or clicking with the ⌃ Control key held, on selected items to perform these actions or on the column headers of the file list to customize which columns are shown. To preview a file, press the Space bar. This opens the Quick Look head-up display. |
